In brief Metaplanet has bought another 136 BTC for $15.2 million, bringing total holdings to 20,136 BTC. The firm achieved “BTC Yield of 487% YTD 2025” with an average purchase price of $103,196. The company is 20% toward its revised 2026 goal of 100,000 BTC, up from its original target of 21,000. Metaplanet Inc. announced on Monday that it has purchased an additional 136 BTC for approximately $15.2 million as it pushes toward its target of accumulating 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 100,000 BTC by 2026.

The latest purchase pushes Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investment to $2.08 billion (¥304.6 billion) at an average cost of $103,196 (¥15.1 million) per coin, bringing total holdings to 20,136 BTC, making it the sixth-largest public corporate holder of the world’s biggest crypto.
